Low Value Statement of Origin
If your shipment is valued at less than CAN$2,500 and is not a part of a series of shipments, you can use a Statement of Origin from the exporter or producer certifying that your goods originate within a NAFTA, CIFTA, CCFTA, or CCRFTA territory. This means you do not have to fill out the formal Certificate of Origin.

Note: The CAN$2,500 applies only to the exemption from completing a certificate of origin; the goods must meet the rules of origin requirements. Furthermore, if it is found that a shipment is part of a series of exportations that are intended to circumvent the formal certification process, a customs administration may request that the importer obtain the formal certificate of origin.
For commercial shipments of less than CAN$2,500, the statements of origin may be handwritten, stamped, or typed on the commercial contract or actual invoices. Pre-printed statements of origin are not permitted on the sales invoice but are permissible on separate forms.

NAFTA Certificate of Origin
Shipment valued CAN$1600 and over - For purposes of obtaining preferential tariff treatment, according to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for those goods meeting the origin criteria from the U.S. or Mexico, this document must be completed legibly and signed in full by the exporter and be in possession of the importer at the time the declaration is made. This document may also be completed voluntarily by the producer. The information supplied on the certificate should be typed or printed.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you view or print the Completion Instructions (you can find these on page 2 of the form) prior to filling out the NAFTA Certificate. Once completed online, you must then print, sign and date the Certificate. You must download the form in order to print/save.
